NADDI’s objective is simple: to improve its members’ ability to investigate, prosecute, and prevent illicit drug diversion.

Introduction

Welcome to NADDI of Oklahoma

Welcome to the Home Page  of NADDI of Oklahoma, formerly the Oklahoma Chapter of NADDI.  NADDI of Oklahoma is committed to supporting professionals in the identification, investigation, and prevention of illicit drug activity. Our mission is to provide high-quality education and training, enhance drug prevention and investigative practices, and foster cooperation and communication among stakeholders across the state.

Established in 2008, NADDI of Oklahoma has remained an active and engaged chapter. Our members come from diverse backgrounds, including local, state, and federal law enforcement, regulatory agencies, healthcare fraud investigations, and pharmacy loss prevention. Many have been involved since NADDI’s earliest days, dedicating their time, energy, and expertise to combat Oklahoma’s ongoing drug epidemic.

Our Objectives -

  • Facilitate statewide networking and collaboration
  • Deliver education and training on current drug trends and investigative strategies
  • Promote awareness of drug diversion, healthcare fraud, and related criminal activity
  • Encourage the exchange of information among members and agencies
  • Strengthen individual job skills and professional development

By fostering an environment of collaboration and shared knowledge, we strive to build more effective solutions to address the challenges of drug diversion and substance-related crime in Oklahoma and beyond.

We’re proud of the work our members do—and we’re just getting started.

Stay tuned for upcoming events, resources, and training opportunities.
